Lyrics

[Lyrics/bedos - music/forte]

[Verse]
What is that shape in front of me
Spying through the looking glass ?
This figure is haunting me
Aping my every gestures
Stealing my soul, my self
The presence of menace is lurking
Behind the translucent surface

Chorus
I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin
Who is in the mirror
The similarity
It can't be me!

[Verse]
I can't acknowledge that individual;
That reflection in the mirror is not my own:
The beholder may perceive the evil spark
In the clearness of the eye
Mirroring the darkness of the heart
The horror!
And yet who can it possibly be?

Chorus
I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin
Who is in the mirror
The similarity
I doubt it can be..
